Binding Arbitration 

If your dispute is related to a disciplinary action involving termination of employment and is not resolved in the first four steps, you may request binding arbitration. Binding arbitration may only be used for the types of claims that would otherwise be heard in court.

Binding arbitration gives you the chance to appeal decisions to a neutral third party called an arbitrator. Binding arbitration is a legal process much like a court, but is much faster and less costly.  You and the hospital will be bound by the decision made by the neutral third part arbitrator except as allowed by law to appeal to a court. This facility has an agreement with the American Arbitration Association to provide arbitration services.   

For more details about the employment dispute resolution process or the binding arbitration process, see your supervisor. If a problem or concern involves your supervisor, go directly to your department head or human resources department.
